Prompt Engineering Guide is a community-run third-party site that turns methods scattered across papers and practice into entries: step-by-step reasoning, few-shot, self-consistency, role setting and more, each with a short example and notes on model differences. Its strength is concepts and comparison; its weakness is upkeep, so details on a new model may lag. Suits people with hands-on experience who want names matched to methods; check the current page and the model vendor docs.
